This beautifully decorated counting puzzle for youngsters 3 and up is illustrated with Kevin Hawkes's old-fashioned drawings of realistic animals, from a single elephant in the water to ten rabbits romping in the grass. Pop out the 10 shaped pieces to reveal the number written large with a short phrase, such as "2 merry deer," "6 monkeys find some fruit to take," and "8 butterflies to see." The puzzle tray is constructed of heavy laminated cardboard for durability, with finger holes in the back that make it easy to remove the pieces.
